Computing - The art of quantum computing - Can 'spooky action at a distance' be harnessed to build a new class of computers?

This paper presents a different kind of computer that will exploit the peculiarities of the quantum world to accomplish number-crunching feats that are currently impossible. The principles by which a quantum computer would work are quite different from those governing today's classical computers. Despite current processor and memory designs already having to take quantum mechanical effects into account, quantum computing is something far stranger
